The Hurricane Sisters * Dorothea Benton Frank * Lowcountry Tales #10

Amidst a stormy South Carolina summer, three generations of strong-willed Lowcountry women must drop their defensive shields to confront deep family secrets, marital infidelity, and a financial scheme before their household completely fractures.

The Story: Set in the magical, sun-drenched landscape of Sullivans Island and Charleston, the narrative functions as an emotionally rich family workspace. Matriarch Maisie Pringle, an energetic eighty-year-old force of nature, keeps everyone on edge with her opinions and her younger live-in boyfriend. Her daughter, Liz, is drowning in a demanding career while willfully ignoring a glaring reality line—that her husband Clayton is keeping one foot in Manhattan and another in blatant indiscretion. Meanwhile, Liz's twenty-something daughter Ashley is trapped in a broke, ramen-based existence, drifting into a romance with an older politician while launching a harebrained, illegal moneymaking scheme with her best friend. When a sudden, volatile confrontation forces their private ledgers wide open, the women must stand together like the outer walls of a lighthouse to weather the approaching storm.

Perfect For: Fans of emotionally empowering, multi-generational women's fiction, atmospheric coastal beach reads, and readers who devour authors like Mary Kay Andrews, Elin Hilderbrand, or Dorothea Benton Frank's own beloved Lowcountry catalog.
